Porsche showed the Cabriolet version of its new 911 at the Detroit Motor Show.

Hot on the heels of the launch of the new Porsche 911 Carrera coupé comes the Cabriolet, which will of course be closely followed by the 4x4 and the GT models.

The new Porsche 911 Cabriolet, which makes its debut at the Detroit Motor Show, arrives in UK showrooms on March 3 priced from £79,947 for the standard 350bhp, 3.4-litre model, or £89,740 for the 400bhp 3.8-litre S model.

The hood is fabric, but with a glass rear screen and automatic folding or deployment in 13 seconds at speeds up to 31mph. There's also a natty new powered wind deflector, which stores behind the rear seats.

This year also sees the launch of the new Boxster model as well as the 4x4 911 derivative, which debuts at the Paris Motor Show this autumn.
